Steve at Random: How patient are you?
http://steveatrandom.blogspot.com/2013/08/how-patient-are-you.html
Devoted to family who want to know what Grandpa Steve and his grandchild are up to. Friday, August 9, 2013. How patient are you? When I drive to work in the morning, I see a line of cars.sometimes six or more.waiting in line to go through the drive-up at a popular, Seattle-based coffee hut. Whenever I see that many cars, I wonder who would have the patience or be that addicted to caffeine to wait a half an hour in line for a $4 to $5 latte or some other coffee-based concoction? I asked the woman how long...

Steve at Random: 30 years of neighborhood memories
http://steveatrandom.blogspot.com/2015/03/30-years-of-neighborhood-memories.html
Devoted to family who want to know what Grandpa Steve and his grandchild are up to. Sunday, March 8, 2015. 30 years of neighborhood memories. I was 26 years old when we purchased our first - and only home - in Mandan. Now, 30 years later, we are the only family in the neighborhood who also lived here in 1985. I'm going to confine my comments to only our immediate neighbors but I could venture out to everyone on several blocks. Our home in Mandan. Except that the young lady who moved in after that was men...

Steve at Random: A tale of a tight squeeze on I-94

Devoted to family who want to know what Grandpa Steve and his grandchild are up to. Sunday, August 17, 2014. A tale of a tight squeeze on I-94. The plan was to move Taylor into the apartment in north Bismarck on Sunday, June 1. By the end of the month, Scott and Taylor would be married and then he would move in. Derek and Mark are on opposite ends of this photo. On Sunday afternoon, we loaded the Fischer’s horse trailer with all the heavy stuff in Mandan. Then we stopped at our house and we loa...Well, I...

Steve at Random: February 2013
http://steveatrandom.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Devoted to family who want to know what Grandpa Steve and his grandchild are up to. Wednesday, February 20, 2013. Oh those embarrassing moments. The human mind is a funny thing. If you are like me, you can't remember dates or names, but you can remember a good story.or an embarrassing moment. So why do these memories come to mind? Because today, right before I had to leave for the North Dakota capitol for a meeting in the governor's conference room, I went to the bathroom at my office - as men my age are...

Steve at Random: The Christmas letter
http://steveatrandom.blogspot.com/2013/12/the-christmas-letter.html
Devoted to family who want to know what Grandpa Steve and his grandchild are up to. Monday, December 16, 2013. We've been exchanging letters and cards with friends and family for years. I write one for my dad and also one for Belinda every year. Needless to say, the calendar notations didn't give me much to go one. But since I talked to my parents at least once a week, I generally knew what they had been up to and could draft up a letter and then let mom look at it and add or change some specific det...

Number One Cubs Fan. Wednesday, February 11, 2009. February 11, 2009 at 9:55 PM. Whoops, I must have had Ar Vee on my mind, I meant NASCAR not NASDAQ. Haven't heard any good "day trader" stories for a while, or Alka Seltzer Plus. Ar Vee, got any stories left? February 11, 2009 at 9:56 PM. February 12, 2009 at 8:10 AM. Thanks for the "spell check" tip. I went back and spell checked my past blogs. February 12, 2009 at 4:08 PM. February 12, 2009 at 4:24 PM. February 12, 2009 at 8:45 PM. Well All- thanks for...

Steve at Random: March 2013
http://steveatrandom.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Devoted to family who want to know what Grandpa Steve and his grandchild are up to. Saturday, March 16, 2013. 1985-86.when we moved to North Dakota. The roads were atrocious, lots of ice and snow blowing around. When we arrived at our new home in Mandan, the Bob Lutkats, the previous owners, were still here moving things so we went out and ate lunch. When we got back to our new home, they were gone. On Monday, December 30, I started working at MDU. I was pretty much in awe and thought everything was ...

Steve at Random: January 2013
http://steveatrandom.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Devoted to family who want to know what Grandpa Steve and his grandchild are up to. Sunday, January 20, 2013. An incomparable Brazilian vacation. I just woke up from a Sunday afternoon nap, and when I was dreaming, I was back in Brazil. This is interesting because when I was in Brazil, my dreams were in the United States. However, it gave me some time to reflect on our adventures over the past two weeks. His answer was always the same, "It doesn't translate well.". Camila's immediate family were a treasu...

Number One Cubs Fan: What to do?
http://dvd323.blogspot.com/2009/04/what-to-do.html
Number One Cubs Fan. Sunday, April 19, 2009. First of all, I want to apologize for not writing in a long time. It just seems life has overwhelmed me. Now that school is winding down I have some major decisions to make. Like where to work? Where am I going to live? Where am I going to golf? Lets break this down one by one. Where am I going to work? Positives for staying in Minot: Better learn how to survive on my own, go tanning on the roof with Noel, go golfing at a harder course. Negatives: Cooking.

Number One Cubs Fan. Tuesday, January 27, 2009. Feb 17 just another day now. I just read an article that said the Senate passed a bill that would delay the switch from analog television to digital. The article went on to say it was a big win for Obama because there was growing concern about millions of Americans not having the proper TV or converter box. Thursday, January 15, 2009. Longest week of my life! I didn't sleep very well Monday night. or Tuesday night or that matter. I was not looking f...First...
